“Breanna is the best!! When I leave, I know that I am leaving my baby with someone who loves him almost as much as I do. She sends me daily pics and updates on his shenanigans. Knowing Phoenix is with Breanna means I can relax and enjoy my time away.”

About: I am a dependable and caring pet sitter with experience caring for dogs and cats of different ages and personalities. I have completed pet sitting for a pit bull over a 4-day stay and cared for three cats, including a young kitten, for 4 days. In addition, I have experience helping care for family pets, including golden retrievers and cats. I understand the importance of providing pets with attention, exercise, playtime, feeding, fresh water, and a safe, comfortable environment. I am patient, responsible, and committed to following each pet owner's instructions so their pets feel secure and well cared for while they are away. I’m currently working part time 3 days a week in Tempe, and have plenty of free time to care for your animals, I normally am good with booking and try to care for pets every week! In my home and/or my clients home I always make sure all animals are safe and taken care of, making sure they have been fed and taken on walks throughout the day.
About: Hi Pawrents and Purrents! I wear many hats in my life—being a furbaby mom, a sister, a wife, and a teacher, among others. But one of my favorite roles is being a nature and animal caretaker. I've been exploring this path with animals for as long as I can remember, and I truly hope that my journey continues in this loving way. Through my experiences and cherished moments spent with four-legged friends, I've learned that they are as diverse, unique, and special as we are. I know how important it is to understand and respect each pet's individual personality and needs, and to provide consistent, gentle guidance during training. As a fellow pet pawrent, I completely understand your worries, concerns, and the little anxieties that come with leaving your beloved pet in someone else's care while you're away. It would be my pleasure to offer the loving, attentive care that your furry friend deserves, making sure they feel safe, happy, and loved. During the time your furbaby is with me, I promise to provide: - pictures throughout the day - pictures of fresh water and food/snacks they receive - walking outside / hiking/running (depending on the pet's personality) - basic trick training: sit, paw, spin... etc ( as long as the pet is compliant! ) - nose work activity for their brain stimulation Alongside my experience with dogs and cats, I also have a passion for a variety of other pets that I currently own, including freshwater fish, a tortoise, and both tropical and desert lizards. As an immunology scientist, I want to share that I am familiar with chemicals that could potentially be harmful to your pet - I hope this information can offer you some extra peace of mind! My schedule is flexible, and I'd do my best to modify my days tailored to your pet's needs. On typical week days, I am available to check on your fur babies after 5:30pm - 10pm! I can stay in your home with your pet. Regardless of whether I am staying overnight or not, I will provide adequate exercise and playtime to your pets while I am with them.
About: I grew up on a farm taking care of animals my whole life, in all shapes and sizes! When I moved to the city for school, lots of people asked me to pet sit and I loved it so much I hope to continue! I just moved to the Phoenix area and I can’t wait to meet new customers (and their owners 😉). Currently my schedule is completely flexible and I can accommodate any needs, even very short notice! Feel free to reach out day of and we can make it work! I’m happy to follow any routines you have with your animals! Since my schedule is so flexible, I’m comfortable feeding or walking morning, noon, or night. I’m also comfortable delivering medication.
“Andrew and Sophia were an absolute pleasure to have and treated our pups like their own. They were easy to communicate with, and flexible when it came to scheduling. Will definitely request their services again in the future.”
About: I’ve spent years caring for dogs for friends, family, and neighbors. I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes and personalities and enjoy making sure they get plenty of attention, exercise, and care while their owners are away. Whether it’s feeding, walks, playtime, or just keeping them company, I treat every pet like it’s my own. I’m dependable, attentive, and happy to follow any routines or special instructions to keep your pet comfortable and safe. I work during the mornings and get off around 5. Happy to stop by during the week while Wednesday nights through Saturday nights work the best since I work only Sunday-Wednesday. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I provide a calm, clean, and pet-friendly environment where dogs can feel at home. I’m happy to follow your pet’s normal routine for feeding, walks, playtime, and rest. If crate training is part of their routine, I can easily accommodate that as well. I will pay close attention to each dog’s or cats behavior and needs to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away.
“Rebecca was incredible. So kind and very communicative. My cat took to her immediately. She went over and above in her care. I definitely recommend Rebecca!”
“I had to leave my fur baby’s for 4 days and 3 nights. I was worried because I don’t like to leave them. Catalina came to my house to meet my fur baby’s and she made us all feel at ease. Thank you very much Catalina! While we were gone she sent pictures and gave updataes. I would highly recommend Catalina who has any worries about leaving their baby over night.”
About: I have been taking care of pets since before I could remember. I believe that pets are what make the world go round, and always strive to make them as happy as can be! I have a small, calm dog and cat here in Arizona, and two large, crazy dogs back in Maine. I definitely understand how both ends of the spectrum can be! All my pets have made it from early puppy, to late senior so I understand the vital importance and factors of taking care of a youthful/elderly pet. I am only working part-time at the moment so taking care of your pets on the weekend is not a problem for me! I also work early mornings so I am free in the afternoons/evenings during the week for all services except overnight stay! MY HOUSE: I have a small, calm/friendly dog that would love to keep your furry friend company. He can be locked away in a separate area of the house if needed! I also have a small, calm/friendly cat but she will be locked away for all visitations/overnights because she gets scared easily. I have a beautiful fenced in backyard with a pool and fake grass. All pet waste gets cleaned up so it’s always hygienic. I will take your dog for a long walk 2 times per day. I will follow your desired feeding/play schedule and administer any medicine if needed. YOUR HOUSE: I will do all the same as listed above! If you have no fenced backyard, I will take your dog on multiple walks a day to get their energy out. I will also follow any crate training instructions if desired.
About: I’ve been a lifelong dog lover and owner, and my wife and I currently share our home with one wonderful pup. Over the years, we’ve also had the rewarding experience of fostering dogs, including a lively litter of puppies. I’ve always found joy in spending time with dogs—whether it’s throwing a ball for them to chase or just hanging out and enjoying their company (no small talk required!). Now that I'm retired my schedule is very flexible. I’m thrilled to spend more time doing something I truly love: caring for dogs and helping others. Whether your pup needs a walk, some companionship, or a safe and loving environment while you’re away, I’m here to help! I look forward to meeting you and your four-legged friends! I’m excited to offer dog walking and sitting services for dogs of all sizes and breeds. With years of experience caring for dogs, I understand the importance of trust and dependability when it comes to your furry family members. My goal is to give your dog the attention, care, and playtime they deserve while making your life a little easier.
About: Hi! My name is Charlotte Kroll, and I would love to give your pet the care they deserve in the comfort of your home. I love all animals and have sat for animals from birds to cats to dogs, and since I am unemployed, your pet will have all the attention and affection they could ever want. If your dog is energetic and playful, we will get lots of playtime and exercise in our days together! If your dog is mellow and sleepy often, then we will share lots of cuddles and sleepy time together! I’ve grown up with pets since I was a kid, so I have years and years of experience watching animals. I feel as animals should be treated as you would treat a baby, with all the attention and loving in the world. Animals deserve one on one affection and constant simulation so they’re able to be happy and thrive! I am confident that your pet would be happy with me and I know that I would give your pet 100% of my love and care. Whether it’s just taking them on a walk, or staying with them for a week, they deserve all the love! I am available and excited to hear from you! I’m currently unemployed, so I’m basically free any time any day! I would love to play with your pets all day and give them the love them deserve! I have a fenced yard and a big friendly dog who is an angel to other pets. I can crate dogs if needed but I don’t mind having pets run around my house!
About: Hi! I'm Cassidy, a healthcare architectural designer living in North Scottsdale and a lifelong animal lover. I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your pets, because they're family. I've spent years caring for dogs and cats of all ages, sizes, and personalities. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, belly rubs, or simply having a calm companion around, I tailor my care to their individual needs and routine. My goal is to make your pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away. As a full-time professional, I'm dependable, detail-oriented, and committed to clear communication. You'll receive regular updates, photos, and plenty of reassurance that your pet is happy and well cared for. I know it can be stressful leaving your furry family member behind, so I treat every pet as if they were my own. I offer dog walking, drop-in visits, and pet sitting, and I'm comfortable following detailed care instructions, administering basic medications, and accommodating special routines whenever possible. I would love the opportunity to meet you and your pet and become someone you can count on whenever you need an extra helping hand! I am a full time student and I also have an architectural internship to help further my studies. I’m trying to save up some extra money for my future by doing something I love and hopefully helping those around me! My main availability is evenings and weekends, but my schedule can be negotiated to see work out the best situation! My roommate has 2 cats that are dog friendly! They mostly keep to themselves, but if further parameters need to be taken I am definitely open to that discussion as well! I will take care of your pet as if they were my own, because I know how important pets are to families
“Where do I begin... from the start I had anxiety about leaving my girl. I met with a few local pet sitters before finding Annette and all of them had their red flags for me. We met with Annette and right away I loved her. Also, she stays at your house which is a huge bonus, as I want my dog to be in the comforts of her own home. We ended up booking her immediately after our first meeting. We had her come by the day before we left so we could go over everything, and she could totally tell I was having a hard time with leaving, but she stayed for a while to calm my nerves and make me feel at ease. She truly goes the extra mile. She messaged me the whole time we were away and provided updates and pictures. To top it off, she left us a thank you card. She watched our dog and she left us a thank you card. She is the absolute sweetest and she is now our go-to for pet sitting. Book her. I promise you won't regret it. :)”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Fountain Hills
Andrew and Sophia are absolutely the best! They love animals and made sure our pups were not just well taken care of but loved while we were out of town. They have experience caring for senior dogs which helped us feel at ease leaving our 14-year-old lab. They took cute pictures and sent updates almost every day which was great. They also took wonderful care of the house including changing the sheets on the guest bed before they left. They go above and beyond. I highly recommend them and planning to rebook with them again in a few weeks.

FAQs for House Sitting - Fountain Hills
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Fountain Hills on Rover is $42.8 per night (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 4,723 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Fountain Hills. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Fountain Hills walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Fountain Hills maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Fountain Hills choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page .
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Fountain Hills. On Rover:
- 94% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
